Deductions & credits

Do report the Form 1099-K as received so that the IRS can match it in their system.

 

For your offset, enter two amounts:

1. Enter the amount of sales for personal goods as a negative amount.

2. Enter the cost of the cake supplies as a negative amount.

 

To clarify the steps more for this, try:

First, enter Form 1099-K as received. It is essential that the full amount be entered. Be sure to include in the description: Personal Property Sales and Other Income 

 

Next, repeat this process with the cost of the items sold. The IRS allows a deduction for personal property up to the amount of the sale.

  • You should be at Other Miscellaneous Income Summary with the Personal Property Sales amount listed.
  • Select +Add Another Income Item on the lower left side.
  • At Other Taxable Income enter Cost of Personal Property for description and the negative amount and Continue. (To continue with the example, the amount would be -100.)
  • Now returned to Other Miscellaneous Income Summary, select Done.
